Further processing decision (continuation of 16-31). Clover has decided that buttermilk may sell better if it was marketed for baking and sold in pints. This would involve additional packaging at an incremental cost of $0.70 per pint. Each pint could be sold for $1.50 (note: one quart = two pints).

1. If Clover uses the sales value at splitoff method, what combination of products should Clover sell to maximize profits?

2. If Clover uses the physical-measure method, what combination of products should Clover sell to maximize profits?

3. Explain the effect that the different cost allocation methods have on the decision to sell the products at splitoff or to process them further.
